What will my sentence be for a possession of Marijuana charge? Posted on May 02, 2011

I got a misdemeanor ticket, and have to appear in court for possession of marijuana. It was a grams worth. This is my first offense ever; I rarely ever smoked. I am not going to do it anymore. I have a job, am a full-time student with up-standing grades for a freshman. I gave the money to a friend to get the marijuana for me. I did not see the purchase or anything. I know that it was illegal, and that it was stupid of me to do. What ramifications should I expect? Being that this is my first offense. There was nowhere near an ounce in my friends’ possession and me when we were caught. Will I go to jail? What should I expect to happen?
